Welcome to BYC. Could she have some frostbite on the toes? A picture of the feet may help. In this thread there is a picture of frostbite on toes: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/848318/will-she-loose-the-toe-frostbite

I agree with Eggcessive, that does sound like it could be frostbite, from the blackened area description. That link I gave does give some information on medications used to treat wuonds, and treating pain, but also on preventing frostbite. Blackened areas are quite possible frostbite. The blackened color usually indicates necrosis, which just eans death of the tissue.
